@andersem Voting yes bc it’s still extremely progressive distribution and I would personally benefit a lot since we’re a 4 person house with only 1 income (partner and 2 kids) But there’s no way this passes, seems like EVERYONE is against it but me , who thinks “it’s fine”

118, the worse-than-a-sales-tax tax + basic income, is the only statewide measure I'm voting no on myself. I'm bummed about it but agree with the critics oregonlive.com/politics/2024/…

Our growing reliance of private security is a major problem. Public safety should be a public good, backed up by an adequately funded and fully accountable police department.

I don't like that the judges all ran unopposed and most of them didn't bother to submit a voter pamphlet statement 😑

@SupportStandard @PermanentDST @billhookunion @maccoinnich Heck no. I don't want three and a half months of DST I prefer eight months. DST to begin the first week of March to the first week of November or have it all year round so screw that 3 months of DST and screw Standard Time we hate that shit

@SupportStandard @maccoinnich No the summer isn’t the problem The winter is the problem, just look, months of sun down before 5. Some around 4pm.

@billhookunion @maccoinnich And you said that you want to work 8ish, okay you work 8:00 to 4:00 If you are on Standard Time the light is balanced out almost completely. Sunrise at 4:21 sunset at 8:03 you still have time in the afternoon and have time in the morning to do the stuff that you need to do

I'm glad SB1548 was sent back to committee... but it's a bad idea even if WA & CA do it as well. For 8 months of the year we'd have an hour less of sunlight in the evening! That's an hour less of golf, gardening, cycling, alfresco cocktails or whatever one likes to do after work.

@PicturesUssr Can you get on Bluesky so I can keep following you?

In Norilsk, USSR, 1975

@SupportStandard @maccoinnich Holy fuck are you a different pro standard time account!!! Now y’all seem like a conspiracy Also, THATS NOT HOW JOB SCHEDULES WORK You don’t get to pick the time and no I want to work at the normal work time 8ish I want hour of light leaving work, I don’t want 4 dark hours

@billhookunion @maccoinnich Most people don't want permanent daylight saving time or daylight saving time in general Its unhealthy because it causes cancer and major health risks. We want to sleep in normal time. Maybe you can wake up earlier at 4am, work earlier get off earlier then do it in the afternoon

@LeavittAlone Yeah just lie about your qualifications. No one will check and jobs are rarely as difficult as you’d think. And the higher level jobs are actually easier bc you do less grunt work

@theunread It will be fun to have so many people on the city council who shop at the 122nd winco

@jspanda8 @Very__Regular Truely amazing world

@Very__Regular Incredible photo + user who posted it combo

@theunread Not that any of my district 1 choices are out and out socialists as far as I’ve seen, But Candace got a Jane Fonda nod, which is more than enough to assuage me. <3 comrade Jane

@theunread For me I’m grateful I don’t have to vote for him either bac he “pulled a Warren”

Multnomah County Commission votes 3-2 for @jvegapederson's proposal to fully fund inclusionary housing in most of Portland through 2030. Removes a big barrier to new mixed-income apartment buildings in close-in, opportunity-rich neighborhoods. Story coming!

I choose another option

@HempJoco @olsonforpdx @undercoverpdx1 If you’re saying I tried to talk to you with some level of dignity, yes. You: “I like to run my mouth off and whine on the internet but when someone actually tries to talk to me like a human my attention span has been so neutered that I can’t think for myself”

This is such a funny comment to make about someone who is best known for being a small business owner

@HempJoco @olsonforpdx @undercoverpdx1 Also you haven’t lived here in 8 years, you left before measure 110. What would you know?

@HempJoco @olsonforpdx @undercoverpdx1 My neighborhood in East Portland is actually nicer than it’s ever been. We’re even getting a Ranch 99 , I’m excited.

@HempJoco @olsonforpdx @undercoverpdx1 It’s only been legal for a short time and these issue long predate that as you just mentioned , and no one is paid??? What? If you mean the bottle bill, that’s still silly. A recycling program isn’t making people so drugs either, to use your argument.

@HempJoco @olsonforpdx @undercoverpdx1 Again, it’s not wrong to do drugs, I would have thought you’d be a libertarian? People inside, even fancy rich suburbs people, do opiates and meth all the time, the issue is homelessness and the only solution is homes. Your second point is frankly incoherent.
